Organ donors....

Look, i know there' s a bit of a shortage going on for organ transplants..., but Damn!!!..... Can't they at least wait for the donor to be deceased?

I just found this article....
www.cnn.com...

this reminds me of a Monty Python moment from 'The Meaning of Life' (i think it was Meaning of Life but i'm not totally sure)

organs should only be removed when the person is dead and not a moment before

I would never consider donating my organs upon my death to anyone other than family members.

i completely respect your right to do that but i'm intrigued as to why you would only allow family members? please could you explain?

Here is the follow up. Looks like the Coroner was just trying to prove a point

Ahh yes....The Rasta Jew scene....

Rasta Jew: But, I'm using it. I can't give it to you now. It says, 'in the event of death!'

Cleese's character: No one who has ever had their liver taken out by us has survived.

I'm an organ donar myself, but you ain't getting my goodies until after I'm outta here...
